The moment: Yesterday I went to another office’s going-away party for an employee I freely admit I met once (in my defense, I was very charming and unforgettable that day). There was cake, there was passing of cake and when it got down to the last two people guess who walked away with no sugary baked goods in her stomach?

It may not be an office, but this happens all too often at my work. If food or treats are brought in, you literally see what some of us refer to as “the vultures” spin out of control with their scavenging. It’s a slight disappointment if you’ve been looking forward to a little cookie or cake.

@ Hatter — I had to hide it from Lumbergh. It’s in the pull-out drawer under my keyboard, way in the back.

@ Heather — It’s the same way in my office. When I want to get rid of candy or cookies or whatever, I put it on the break room table. You’d be amazed the crap one can put on that table that will get eaten — even stale pretzels once!

Oh eww. That is so TRUE. My brother has an awful sweet tooth and had literally a huge BAG of junkfood that he’d had since Halloween and Christmas. He gave it to me (Why? I dunno), and my plan was to get rid of it. I set the bag down in the break room. Not an hour passed and it was empty. Even the blasted Candy Canes. It’s damn shocking is what it is. 🙂
